RESTON, Va., Nov. 11, 2026 " Following the U.S. debut during the Monterey Car Week this past August, Audi of America announces 182-unit volume of its supercar, the Audi Nuvolari, coming to the U.S. market. Combining groundbreaking technology, F1-inspired engineering, and unmistakable design, the Nuvolari represents a new chapter for Audi design, performance and technology. Orders are now being accepted through authorized Audi dealers nationwide, with U.S. customer deliveries expected to begin in the first half of 2028.
The most powerful and fastest production Audi ever
Developed as the ultimate expression of Audi performance, the Audi Nuvolari is anticipated to produce an estimated maximum system output of 987 hp* (final figures may be subject to change) from a hybrid powertrain that combines a high-revving V8 biturbo engine with three electric axial flux motors (two on the front, one on the rear axle). The high-revving biturbo V8 delivers maximum power of 789 hp at an astonishing 9,000 " 9,750 rpm, while the electric motors can generate 198 hp. Capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 2.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of more than 217 mph, the Nuvolari is the most powerful and fastest production vehicle in Audi history. Production will be limited to just 499 units worldwide with 182 units coming to the U.S. market.
Formula 1 technology inspiration brought to the road
The Audi Nuvolari showcases how Audi's Formula 1 involvement accelerates innovation across the company. Its high-performance hybrid architecture, advanced energy management system, brake-by-wire technology, active aerodynamics, and launch control strategies draw directly from motorsport expertise. The Audi ceramic pro brake disks allow for 21% more heat dissipation compared to standard ceramic brakes through their long fiber design that deliver thermal stability and consistent performance under extreme deceleration. The result is a road-going supercar engineered to deliver exceptional performance at the limit when on track as well as delivering a spirited drive on the open road.
A next generation of intelligent quattro performance
At the heart of the Nuvolari is the world premiere of quattro predictive ride, Audi's next-generation approach to all-wheel driving dynamics. Using advanced sensors and real-time vehicle modeling, the system continuously analyzes grip levels, steering inputs, acceleration, and vehicle behavior to proactively optimize torque distribution, braking interventions, and aerodynamic balance. Working in concert with the electric front-axle drive units, the 4-way adjustable suspension allows for low and high-speed adjustment as well as adapting compression and rebound delivering extraordinary control, confidence, and precision in virtually any driving condition.
Lightweight engineering and active aerodynamics for maximum performance
The Nuvolari introduces an all-new Audi Space Frame architecture paired with a carbon-fiber exterior, combining exceptional rigidity with low weight. Nearly every exterior panel is crafted from carbon-fiber reinforced polymer using manufacturing methods derived from Formula 1. Complementing the lightweight structure is an advanced active aerodynamic system featuring a three-stage deployable rear wing, Formula 1-inspired Drag Reduction System (DRS), and aerodynamic elements capable of generating more than 400 kg (~880 pounds) of downforce when conditions demand maximum performance.
Individualized Color and Trim Options and Pricing
Available in over 50 gloss paint colors and more than 10 matte paint exterior color options, customers are able to reflect their personal taste and character. Fully customized Audi Exclusive paint and interior options are also available. The available fully exposed, highly technical open carbon fiber exterior is sure to be a highly sought after exterior selection. Thirteen different brake caliper colors are available to complement the overall exterior of the Audi halo supercar.
Commensurate for the new Audi performance halo, a plethora of interior colors and two materials are available. Three primary Dinamica® and 33 leather color selections, with 12 different seat belt colors as well as two switchgear colors will be offered providing customers a truly special space to drive the fastest and most powerful Audi in its history.
The 2028 Audi Nuvolari is available as a starting MSRP of $700,000**. Orders continue to be accepted at authorized Audi dealerships throughout the United States for a limited time. Customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2028.
